THANKS ALL NETTERS FOR YOUR CONCERN !!!

Thanks to You I've been able to solve the printing problem
I had on Token Ring through Windows.

By selecting LPT1.OS2 in Control Panel, instead of LPT1:,
it works just fine.

Another hint was manually editing the WIN.INI and change LPT1: to
LPT.PRN:, this worked to, but the way the machines are used,
the first solution fits our needs better.

I got another suggestion, to set /Notabs on, from the explanation
given, I figure this might work for the LPT1: too, but I havent had time
to try this yet, will do when I get the time.
Right now I'm just happy getting it to run properly.

So, the solutions above leaves just one final question:

Why does this work (, why is it needed at all)?

Thank You all, You are fantastic.
